California, by the seaI could be livin' in the lap of luxury like on TVAnd that's all goodBut it'll never make me feel the way I shouldI could jump in a van, head to BirminghamBe up on the stage with a reggae bandBy tomorrow, with my babyIt won't make me rich but it'll save me

Make a little more loveMake a little less moneyCatch a little more buzz, more buzzOff a little less honeyCan't have it made there in the shadeWhen you're workin' all the timeMake a little more love, more loveAnd be happy for the rest of your lifeBe happy for the rest of your life

The sunrise, the front seatI've got everything I need but I get it for freeLike the best things in lifeI ain't climbin' up a ladder when I'd rather take a rideDown a boulevard in an El CaminoIs it a car or a truck, hell if we knowBut we're goin' and we don't care'Cause the windows are down and it gets us where we can

Make a little more loveMake a little less moneyCatch a little more buzz, more buzz Off a little less honeyCan't have it made there in the shadeWhen you're workin' all the timeMake a little more love, more loveAnd be happy for the rest of your lifeBe happy for the rest of your life

Won't miss the dotted linesWon't miss the dollar signsDon't wait 'till it's too late'Cause you'll only miss the time that you didn't take To make a little more love

Make a little more loveMake a little less moneyCatch a little more buzz, more buzz Off a little less honeyCan't have it made there in the shadeWhen you're workin' all the timeMake a little more love, more loveAnd be happy for the rest of your lifeBe happy for the rest of your life
